In my last post I talked about what permaculture is and isn’t. With that foundation out of the way, I invited you to come along as I grow my garden at my new home. Come with me and see how I got started – and how you can, too – even in a less-than-ideal situation.

You might have heard the word “permaculture” before but don’t know what it is. Maybe you have looked at a few websites or tried to read a book about it, only to give up when it got too deep into philosophy or science.

Everyone who talks about it gives you an overwhelming amount of information and pseudo-religious wank. That “this is the way” bullshit pisses me off, and I have no interest in doing that.

What I am going to do is share a series of posts about what I’m personally doing, without proselytizing. It’s your garden, your time and your effort, so you do what you want.

I’m going to give you practical information and tips to make things easier if what you want is to try permaculture.

I’ve often had friends and acquaintances express appreciation and envy for my garden. People say “I would love to have a garden like this but I don’t know where to start” or “This is so beautiful, I could never do something like this”.

But the thing is you totally can have a garden!

I just moved to a new house about a year ago. One of the first things I did was plant several native trees and herbs. One in particular that I’ve always wanted but couldn’t have at my last house because of space and light constraints was an Eastern Black Cherry (Prunus Serotina var. serotina).

When mature, this is a big, beautiful messy tree, loved by birds and wildlife. The fruit is edible – it’s what black cherry candy and soda are made of.
